Welcome reader to my blog - a mixture of this and that. Now that we are living in a retirement community in downtown Columbia, MD my personal gardening activities are somewhat curtailed. I still enjoy visiting gardens, reading, watching wildlife on my walks, traveling, and occasional food commentary. Please leave a comment if you feel inspired to do so. I read every one of them.

A Worthwhile Cause

My sister, Marie became very involved with this charity first as a volunteer, then as a part time staff member, and now as a full time staffer.

I signed up again this year to support the same little girl who will now be attending kindergarten. She was a preschooler last year. My $360 donation will buy her books, provide a nutritious meal, pay for a uniform and school fees. This is especially important because as in many developing countries, sending girls to school is not a high priority. If a family has the money, boys attend school first.

CCHaiti has three primary objectives: improve health care, support education and community development. Read more about these here.

What a wonderful way to make a difference ~ one child a time! Thank you for sharing this organization with us, Marcia. The beautiful flowers are a lovely reminder of the beautiful work you are doing! ♡Dawn@Petals.Paper.SimpleThymes
